THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION.
A Qualified Service Technician
or Installer must set the Slider Damper
.
This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove.
Following these steps will minimize visible emissions.
The slider damper knob is located on the left cab
side (see Figure 5).
If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has
been set on the lowest setting, the Slider Damper should be pushed in
slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up and overflows the
burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this would be a sign that the
pellet quality is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider damper
must be pulled out to compensate. Pulling the slider damper out gives
the fire more air.
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to
understand the characteristics of the fire.
• A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open
slider (pull out) slightly.
• A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close
Figure 5: Slider / Damper Knob.
slider (push in) slightly.
• If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a
bright yellow/orange, active flame with no black tips then the
air is set for proper operation, refer to Figure 6.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower
controlled by the heat output button. This blower will decrease
the vacuum pressure inside the stove and as the heat output
button is turned down.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will operate.
If the pellets have a high moisture content or ash content the fire
will be less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire building
up and creating clinkers (hard ash build-up).
Operating Instructions
Figure 7: Hole for Pressure test with
Magnehelic Gauge.
Taking a reading of vacuum pressure inside the firebox with
a magnehelic gauge can be used to set the slider for best
combustion. The slider damper should be set only on a hot
stove (operating for thirty (30) minutes or more) by placing
a Magnahelic Pressure Gauge in the firebox. The reading can
be taken from the ⅛” (3 mm) hole located in the front of the
firebox under the door (see Figure 7).
The best settings
are a reading of approximately 0.13 inches of water
column on the high fire setting. Some fuels may
require higher or lower settings.
